Resumen
La cojera es una de las enfermedades productivas más importantes del ganado lechero que causa pérdidas económicas para el productor y dolor por largo tiempo al animal, incluso después de recibir el tratamiento. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue evaluar la asociación entre el momento de ocurrencia de un caso clínico de cojera durante la lactancia con el desempeño productivo y reproductivo de vacas Holando Argentino en pastoreo. Se llevó a cabo un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo donde se analizaron registros productivos y reproductivos de 7.156 lactancias de un tambo comercial. Se consideró para el estudio sólo el primer evento registrado de cojera por lactancia. Se encontró que las vacas cojas produjeron 161 y 183 kg menos de leche acumulada a los 150 y 305 días en lactancia respectivamente que sus compañeras de rodeo no cojas. Además, aquellas vacas que se volvían cojas antes del primer servicio producían menos leche que las vacas que presentaron cojera más tarde en la lactancia. Por otro lado, las vacas que presentaron el evento de cojera después del primer servicio tuvieron un intervalo parto-preñez 87 días más largo que las vacas sanas, mientras que aquellas que se volvían cojas antes del primer servicio presentaron un intervalo parto-preñez 38 días más largo que las sanas. En conclusión, las vacas que presentan cojera clínica al comienzo de la lactancia producen menos leche y tienen menores chances de inseminación y preñez que las vacas sanas y que las vacas que se vuelven cojas más tarde en la lactancia. Además, las vacas que se vuelven cojas inmediatamente después del período de espera voluntario son las que presentan el peor desempeño reproductivo, con menor chance de preñez y un intervalo más largo entre el parto y la preñez.
Lameness is one of the most critical production diseases in dairy cows. It causes economic losses and longtime pain, even after the treatment is completed. The main goal of this study was to assess the association between the timing of occurrence of lameness during lactation and the productive and reproductive performance in grazing Holstein cows. A retrospective cohort study was run using a dataset from a commercial dairy farm involving productive and reproductive records of 7156 lactations. Only the first event of lameness per lactation was considered for analysis. Lame cows produced 161 kg in 150 DIM and 183 kg in 305 days in milk less than healthy cows from the same farm. In addition, cows that became lame before the first service produced less milk than cows from the same herd that became lame later during lactation. Cows lame after the first service had a longer calving-pregnancy interval (87d) than healthy cows, while cows that became lame before the first service had a calving-pregnancy interval 38 d longer than healthy herd mates. In conclusion, cows that became lame at the beginning of lactation had lower milk yield and had a lower risk of being inseminated and getting pregnant than cows that became lame later during lactation. Moreover, cows that became lame immediately after the voluntary waiting period are those who had the worst reproductive performance (lower pregnancy risk and longer calving-pregnancy interval).
